ADOPTION PROCESS

CHI has worked in Moldova for over 20 years.  The country is a small sending country (meaning low amounts of adoptions happen internationally), but they do have children waiting for adoption.  We have professionals who will help you both in the USA and also Moldova.  Please contact us for a conversation about your adoption.
